Solitairian City Letter for Updation for all towers details.
New Delhi: It looks like Delhi might get its second airport soon. According to Centre for Aviation (CAPA) which is one of the world’s most trusted sources of market intelligence for aviation and travel industry, the foundation stone for Delhi’s second airport will shortly be laid to mark the start of construction work.
The CAPA analysis stated that PM Modi is expected to inaugurate the Jewar Noida International Airport (JNIA), also known as the New Greater Delhi Airport redevelopment project between February 23 and 25, by laying a foundation stone for the project. The cost of this project is estimated to be up to USD 3.1 billion. This will be the largest airport in India by surface area.
The plans for the airport were approved by India’s Aviation Ministry on June 25, 2015 and given in-principle government approval in June 2017.
This project will be implemented as a public-private partnership. That being so, the GMR Group holds first right of refusal for any new airport in Delhi. In February last year, GMR Infrastructure’s director K Narayan Rao confirmed GMR plans to participate in the project. Rao said that a coordination committee should be established with representatives of the Union Government, Uttar Pradesh State Government and private sector to oversee the project and avoid delays. He also called for the development of metro rail connectivity to the planned airport.
This airport will take off some of the air passenger traffic burden away from the Indira Gandhi International Airport. India is expected to become the third largest aviation market in the world. It is estimated that this new airport, which will be built to handle 50 million passengers per year, will become ‘saturated’ by 2040.

The airport metro line will take passengers from Greater Noida to Jewar International Airport’s terminal. It will be planned for the need of punctuality to enable the passengers to reach the airport terminal in time for flights.
DMRC will soon present the feasibility report of the Delhi-Jewar Airport Metro Line to Yamuna authorities
Delhi-Jewar Airport Metro Line: Travelling to the new Jewar International Airport that is coming up in Greater Noida will become easier for passengers! The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will soon present the feasibility report of the Delhi-Jewar Airport Metro Line to the Yamuna authorities, according to a Dainik Jagran report. The authorities will then put forward the report in the upcoming board meeting. The airport metro line will take the passengers from Greater Noida to Jewar International Airport’s terminal. The airport metro line will be planned keeping in mind the need for punctuality to enable the passengers to reach the airport terminal in time for flights.
Two types of metro will be operated over the airport route. This airport metro line will have very few stoppages from the distance between Delhi and Jewar and hence, will take the passengers to the airport in a very short time. The other metro service on this route will be similar to other metro trains and will stop at all stations on the route. This particular metro train will be operated for the people residing in and around the Yamuna authority area. They will have separate lines on the stations.
The new airport metro line has been proposed for seamless connectivity between the Jewar International Airport to Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region). In the month of September last year, the Yamuna authorities had delegated the DMRC to present the metro feasibility report. The authorities want to get the report prepared as soon as possible and get all the formalities completed as well. They are eager for the timely completion so that the construction of the airport metro line starts simultaneously with the Jewar International Airport, the report said. In this way, both, the air services from the airport as well as the metro services for reaching the airport will be made available for passengers. DMRC has promised to present the feasibility report to the authorities in the next 10-15 days. The feasibility report will be presented for acceptance in the upcoming board meeting of the authorities in February, the report added.
